Daughter Ellianna is bathed in breast milk and warm water to sooth her skin

Hearing about the soothing properties of breast milk through online forums, she popped her young daughter in a bath – adding around 10 ounces of milk – towelled her off and settled her in bed for the night.

Amazingly, the very next day the bites had vanished.

“Annoyingly, I didn’t take any pictures. If it happens again I will,” said Jerrica.

“Nobody thought the remedy was weird. Using breast milk as a medicine helps normalise breastfeeding, and the numerous uses for milk.”
